    @818 now that I have the rack I want sliders more. :spending:I know that that doesn’t help too much but I can use the rack for my low back chairs, canopy and maybe something else to free up bed space when camping and then eventually a roof rack mounted shade :crapstorm:

    This looks fantastic. Had a love hate relationship with my 06 regular cab only because I’m tall and like to lean back. Cool truck man, the body lines line up real nice.

    Sound deadening the roof. I found the roof rack too noisy. Hoping this helps

    Nice! Yea I had mine preassembled at a shop to hopefully save me some time but I only gave an idea of how the top mount was to be positioned-- one side was for sure maybe 1/8 to 3/16" off and I had to guide the base of the shock to thread the bolt through as well. But thankfully did not have to disassemble and reposition the top mount for either of the front shocks :rolleyes:
    So no lift huh? I bet it rides a bit smoother than mine-- stock tire size as well?

    It isn't too difficult Peel and stick the deadener and roll with a roller. It cuts easily for trimming.
    Put mine in my cab in the garage using a garage heater to warm it up just to make is easier to shape.

    I did my doors with the speaker upgrade. After the last rain storm I could see. No wait hear. The roof could use it.

    what’s steps did you take to drop the headliner?

    any tips?

    I will be doing this soon and not sure where and how it’s clipped to the roof.

    I watched a few videos. Most are 2nd Gen based tho. I need to replace a few clips I broke.
    Best 3rd gen video I found, but only for the back half.
    https://youtu.be/rFYvxA_tdw0

    This one is well documented and had a blog in the description
    https://youtu.be/QIdhPrb06t8

    I had to work around the headliner which was annoying. Just lay the front seats down to get more space.

    If you have the auto braking/smart cruise control type features, remove the plastic next to the rear mirror before dropping. I cracked that slightly unfortunately.

    The liner is fiberglass or similar. My hands were very itchy and I had a cough afterwards. Gloves and mask might be helpful.

    With just the heat pad, and I doubt my cans were as warm as a hot water bath, the RP-342 was thin and atomized well through the straw. It sprayed well at any angle. The straw does help get deep into the cavities. After about the 4th can, my finger was complaining.

    I focused on every joint, seam, and cavity whether it was a weld or pieces coming together first, let it flash off for about 30 minutes and then went after the same joints and then plain surfaces after that. My perception is that corrosion is more likely to start at the joints and connections, and less likely on the plain surfaces. It took about 3 hours for it to flash off completely.

    I eventually resorted to setting a couple of cans I knocked the straw off and finished them without the straw on the flat surfaces. I'm super happy with the result. Did it to a 5-month-old truck before the 1st salt and brine hit the roads, so we'll see how it holds upcoming spring. A couple of spot checks after being on stone roads and a under body wash and not signs of material loss so far.

    Nice job, take some mineral spirits on a cloth and rub off the AVS logo on the visor i did , it took a while so i used a small amount of acetone and did it quick, no more logo, Where did you get the gas cap holder from, i like it better than the one i have.

    I'm surprised that fits into a parking garage height wise.
